Answer

Refer to the graph below.

Work Step by Step

The slope is rise over run.
The slope is $-2$, so the rise is $-2$ and the run is $1$.
To graph the line, perform the following steps:
(1) Plot the y-intercept $(0, -3)$.
(2) From $(0, -3)$, move 2 units down (the rise) and 1 unit to the right (the run) to reach $(1, -5)$. Plot $(1, -5)$.
(3) The slope $-2$ is equivalent to $\frac{2}{-1}$ so the rise can be $2$ and the run is $-1$.
From $(0, -3)$, move 2 units up and 1 unit to the left to reach $(-1, -1)$. Plot $(-1, -1)$.
(4) Connect the three points using a line to complete the graph.
Refer to the attached image in the answer part above for the graph.
